Marcs Updater
There have been some reports about issues with the Updater not updating anymore. Please try the latest beta version and switch to another IP Check provider instead of the previous default dnsomatic.com. For some reason they are rate-limiting the number of requests to their service. The new IP Check provider selection allows you to choose another provider in such cases. You can test the functionality with the new "Test" panel.
If you want to add a custom provider to the unstable testing version, store a JSON file like the following under %PROGRAMDATA%\Marcs Updater\ServiceProviders\dyndns.json:
{
"name": "DynDNS.org (Test)",
"endpoint": "https://members.dyndns.org/nic/update",
"method": "GET",
"queryString": "hostname={HOSTNAME}&myip={MYIP}",
"dataPayload": "",
"defaults": {
"username": "test",
"password": "test",
"hostname": "test1.customtest.dyndns.org"
}
}Supported query and payload tags are {USERNAME}, {PASSWORD}, {HOSTNAME} and {MYIP}. Restart the background service and foreground application to apply any changes.

Is there a way to clear the IP update log? Seems like I may have hit a limit and it isn't updating or at least not logging the updates anymore.

It's quite simple really... :) You just need to open Windows Event Viewer and clear "Application" list (of events). If you want a bit more complicated (but done by single double-click on a desktop shortcut, i.e. .lnk file) way of doing it - using a 3rd party cmdline program - just let me know in a comment and I will post link to that program and instructions... Hope this helps, Tadej from Slovenia

That is exactly what I was looking for. Didn't know that it was logging to event viewer. Thank you.

Here are also two screenshots. I forgot to include the instruction to click "Clear all Events"... :)
